MNC Vision, previously known as Indovision, is a direct-to-home satellite television and radio service that operates in Indonesia on a subscription basis.

[2] However, it was only at the end of 1993 that this company received permission to manage the subscription television business under the trademark Indovision, and was finally launched on 16 January 1994 and began operating on 1 October 1994.

Using Palapa B2P satellite for its transponders, the C-Band DBS service featured programming from the "Gang of Five", which was a consortium that was set up to compete against STAR TV in Asia.

The initial target was 150,000 subscribers by the end of 1994, but due to the high price of set-top boxes and rentals (Rp 1,475,000 for set-top boxes, Rp 82,000/month for subscriptions), the service was short of interest and only reached 5,000 subscribers in its first year.

[6][7] In 1997, IndoStar-1 which is also known as Cakrawarta-1 (designed and built by Thomas van der Heyden, founder of what later became Orbital Sciences GEO division), was launched as the world's first commercial communications satellite to use S-band frequencies for broadcasting (pioneered by van der Heyden), which provided high-quality transmissions to small-diameter 80 cm antennas in regions that experience heavy rainfall such as Indonesia.

In October 2001 PT Malicak's parent company, PT Datakom Asia was acquired by Salim Group in a joint venture with Bhakti Investama (now MNC Asia Holding) (51%), owned by Hary Tanoesoedibjo (HT).

[15] Then Salim's ownership in PT Datakom disappeared, leaving HT as the main controller of the largest pay TV in Indonesia.

[24] Its customers also continued to grow, reaching 2.15 million in 2013 and being the largest player in pay TV industry.

[25] Towards the end of 2013, Indovision announced that all MPEG-2 channels would be terminated in 2014 and encouraged customers to switch to MPEG-4 (HD) decoders, and change their old broadcast cards with newer ones.
